Card Company Apologizes To Nun

August 14, 1985

A company that put the photograph of a Chicago area nun on a risque greeting card apologized Tuesday and promised to donate proceeds from its sale to her religious order. Sister Candida Lund, a Dominican nun and chancellor of Rosary College in River Forest, has filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court against California Dreamers Inc. of Chicago, saying the company used her picture without her knowledge. A Cook County circuit judge also has barred further production of the card and has ordered its recall from stores in all 50 states. In the card, the nun says: ``It`s all right if you kiss me . . . so long as you don`t get in the habit.`` The nun contends in the suit that the company never asked her permission to use the picture, which a company spokesman said came from the files of a dead photographer.
